Antioxidant Rich Foods

Do you know the real benefits of antioxidants rich foods? You have probably heard about the amazing power of these free-radical fighting antioxidants that are actually able to slow down aging process and keep you look and feel younger!

And they also help to prevent common killing disease like cancer, heart problems and other degenerative diseases. Not only that, they also help you progress faster from exercise, thus creating more muscle and less fat to your body in time to come.

Free radicals are produced when you exercise and the function of the antioxidants is to inhibit the free radicals to help your body to recover faster. Free radicals can damage your muscle tissues so it is best that you have adequate supply of antioxidants an hour or so before you exercise to prevent heavy damage to your muscle.

The main sources of antioxidants are found in whole food like cherries, berries, acai fruit, assorted teas like green tea and black tea, nuts, seeds, grapes, red and black beans and chocolate.

Although there are tons of expensive antioxidants supplement pills out on the market, you should only eat antioxidants found abundantly in whole foods which are natural and easy to be used by the human body. They are in fact much more cost effective than a pill!

You can eat almond butter with small amount of strawberries jam on your whole grain toast as a snack before you workout. In addition, you can have a glass of raw honey sweetened iced green tea as a drink to go along with your snack. These combinations of food literally provide you with tons of antioxidants to protect your muscle and give you the youthful feeling during exercising.

Foods With Antioxidants

What are some healthy foods with antioxidants?

Among the fruits, vegetables and nuts analyzed, each food was measured for antioxidant concentration as well as antioxidant capacity per serving size. Cranberries, blueberries, and blackberries ranked highest among the fruits studied. Beans, artichokes and Russet potatoes were tops among the vegetables. Pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts ranked highest in the nut category.

Although spices are generally consumed in small amounts, many are high in antioxidants. On the basis of antioxidant concentration, ground cloves, ground cinnamon and oregano were the highest among the spices studied.

Grape Seed Antioxidant

which antioxidant would you choose?

250 mg pomegranate extract

5 mg lycopene

100 mg grape seed extract
or 1000mg bilberry extract

and of course, how come?

I would choose any antioxidant in liquid form because the absorption rate is so much higher. If you could take any of these is liquid form that would be your best option. If not, here is another possibility.

Benefits Of Antioxidants

Does adding cream in coffee kill the antioxidants?

I read coffee can have positive health affects on people who drink it. But I came across an article below that says adding milk to your coffee kills the antioxidants (which have the health benefits). Now does anyone know if adding non-dairy creamer would have the same affect on the antioxidants?

http://www.rediff.com/getahead/2005/mar/03coffee.htm

That is a new one on me. I would love to see the research on it.

However, milk or cream does really change the flavor of coffee. I maintain that good coffee (high quality beans, fresh roasted, properly brewed) doesn't need milk or sugar. Additives mask both the tastes that are unique to varietal beans, origins, and the roasting method.

So, be safe and skip the milk! Better flavor and maybe better health!

enjoy!
